Collaboration between KDE printing development team and Linspire

[Jeremy Shaw]

Hello,

An easy start would be for me to put together a list of changes we
have already made or plan on making. I can provide diffs for the
patches we have already made.

I will need to work with my manager to figure out a reasonable
schedule for this.

Jeremy Shaw.
